10.1 OVERVIEW OF THE MUSCULAR TISSUE

Types of Muscular Tissue:
1. Skeletal Muscle Tissue
: move bones of the skeleton
: striated (visibility of alternating light and dark protein
bands called striations)
: voluntary actions (its activity can be controlled)
2. Cardiac Muscle Tissue
: only in the heart as it forms the heart wall
: striated and involuntary (its activities cannot be
consciously controlled)
: autorhythmicity – built-in intrinsic rhythm.
: several hormones and neurotransmitters adjust
heart rate by speeding up or slowing down the pacemaker of
the heart.
3. Smooth Muscle Tissue
: located in the walls of hollow internal structures and
hair follicles in the skin.
: nonstriated and involuntary
: also has autorhythmicity
* Cardiac and smooth muscles are regulated by neurons of the
autonomic division of the nervous system and by hormones
released by endocrine glands.
